Natural Calm + Calcium Formula-Review and Giveaway!

We all know how important calcium is in our diet. Calcium is an everyday necessity for us to keep bones (and teeth) strong, proper muscle and nerve function, etc. Yet at the same time, too much calcium can deplete another vital mineral-magnesium-which calms muscles, and keeps our bones from becoming brittle...among other important things. So, how do we make sure we have that perfect balance of calcium and magnesium? I've got a great way-by taking Natural Calm Plus Calcium, a wonderful product from Peter Gillham's Natural Vitality! This is ideal for athletes and people who exercise regularly, but is important for everyone. I received a bottle of the Natural Calm + Calcium in a new organic Raspberry Lemon flavor. It's very easy to take, and tastes very pleasant. Simply mix a teaspoon of the powder into 3-4 ounces of hot water. It fizzes before dissolving. Then I add cold water, and drink! (If you're on-the-go, or just don't want to take the time of mixing with hot then cold water, you can just add the powder to a bottle of cold water). Like I said, it has a pleasant taste that doesn't make you think you're drinking medicine :)

"Athletes put their bodies under intense stress. Strenuous exercising and sweating (due to exertion and high temperatures) cause the body to lose magnesium. Many athletes are deficient in both calcium and magnesium.

Magnesium is also essential in addressing an issue common to almost all athletes—muscle cramping. When cramping occurs in workouts or competition, it is a sign of low magnesium levels. Natural Calm Plus Calcium balances a highly soluble and bioavailable form of calcium with Natural Calm—the best-selling, award-winning magnesium supplement—plus vitamins and minerals, so that the calcium you take will be fully utilized and you will have healthy magnesium levels. Magnesium won’t be depleted by calcium and there will not be a buildup of unabsorbed calcium. Both original and organic raspberry-lemon Natural Calm Plus Calcium are available in convenient individual sports/travel packs."

2 of my readers will receive a packet of Raspberry-Lemon AND a packet of Original Natural Calm + Calcium!
